Overwatered during flowering

Hey guys

Iv made a mistake

So my plant was just about to hit flowering when I decided to change the pot it was in. I put it into a new pot and it seemed fine almost no shock, but after a few days I started seeing curling leaves and yellowing which proceeded to leaves wilting away. Realised it was being overwatered as the soil wasn't drying later only to realise that I had forgotten to poke holes at the bottom of the pot.

So basically plant had no drainage. In flowering stage . Now the plant has only buds and almost no fan leaves and looks almost naked. The buds still seem to be growing but they don't look like theyre doing to well. What can I do now to help get the best out of this plant I wrecked . I'm growing outdoors. Attaching some pictures

A bit disheartened and not surprised. Though I'm gonna stick it out till harvest. If the smoke can even tickle my brain,I would be happy . I'm from India. The weed here sucks so I'm not up against much . Hahaha

So have you drilled the holes down the pot after you realized there are none or not? Signs of overwatering are obvious but I think you were heavy with fertilizers as well and thats maybe your bigger issue…

Well it looks like you're able to keep houseplants alive... and I'd bet you don't give them daily attention.. they might have even been allowed to deal with some drought from time to time

Yes I have drilled holes now in the pot and a few in the soil for it to breathe.

Actualy I do give them daily attention but I'm very new to growing and reading these signs and I wasn't quick enough to understand what was really going wrong with it since the Internet has so many things to share. Not so much drought. I have another plant growing side by side who's in great health and has been given the same treatment. Just that I forgot to check for drainage when repotting this particular one

I haven't used any fertiliser. Just good soil.

Cannabis plants really like lots of oxygen in the rootzone. SOIL tends to choke that out especially when watered without good drainage.
